South Africa has formally become the 54th member of the African Export–Import Bank (Afreximbank), inaugurating an US$8 billion country programme designed to accelerate trade, industrial development and infrastructure investment across Africa.

Afreximbank has selected startups for a three-month cohort beginning in March 2026 that will combine mentorship, learning modules and potential investment to scale trade-focused innovation.
